AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
CLAIM: U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law effective Aug. 1, 2025, making couples who have been in a relationship for five years automatically legally married.
RATING: False
The rumor spread on multiple social media platforms such as Threads, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Reddit.
But there was no such law, nor was there any credible indication that Trump was proposing such a law in July 2025. No reputable news outlets, government websites, or official Trump statements supported this claim.
